From Wikipedia:
"The Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein was a design for a jet-powered fighter aircraft intended as the successor to the Messerschmitt Me 262 and other day fighters in Luftwaffe service during World War II. It had been developed only to the extent of wind tunnel models when the war ended, but the basic design was further developed postwar in Argentina as the FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II. The name Huckebein is a reference to a trouble-making raven (Hans Huckebein der Unglücksrabe) from an illustrated story in 1867 by Wilhelm Busch.[1]"
The kit from PM Models is a simple OOB construction, with a few cockpit additions (console and controls on either side) and weight to keep it on the tricycle wheels. Had to guess at the weight, we'll see if it works. I used a single round pine box derby weight super glued in place behind a bulkhead behind the pilot seat.
